Abstract

A system and method for generating electrical power using an improved wind turbine blade is described herein. Specifically, a wind turbine blade assembly can include a one or more curved blade mount, each parallel to the other, having a ratio of a linear blade length to a curve depth between 15/99 and 17/99, and a blade, wherein blade is mounted to said one or more blade mounts, wherein said blade comprises a thin flexible material capable of conforming to one or more curved blade mount.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A wind turbine blade assembly comprising
 a one or more curved blade mount, each parallel to the other, having a ratio of a linear blade length to a curve depth between 15/99 and 17/99; and   a blade, wherein said blade is mounted to said one or more blade mounts, wherein said blade comprises a thin flexible material capable of conforming to one or more curved blade mount.   
     
     
         2 . The wind turbine blade assembly of  claim 1  wherein wind turbine blade assembly comprises one or more battens connected to said blades parallel to said one ore more curved blade mounts, further wherein said battens have a ratio of a batten linear blade length to a batten curve depth between 15/99 and 17/99. 
     
     
         3 . The wind turbine blade assembly of  claim 1  wherein said one or more blade mounts comprises 6061 T-6 aluminum. 
     
     
         4 . The wind turbine blade assembly of  claim 3  wherein said one or more blades comprise 6061 T-6 aluminum. 
     
     
         5 . The wind turbine blade assembly of  claim 1  wherein said one or more blades comprise 6061 T-6 aluminum. 
     
     
         6 . The wind turbine blade assembly of  claim 2  wherein said one or more battens comprise 6061 T-6 aluminum. 
     
     
         7 . A wind turbine blade assembly comprising
 a one or more curved blade mounts wherein said one or more blade mounts comprise 6061 T-6 aluminum; and   a blade, wherein said blade is mounted to said one or more blade mounts, wherein said blade comprises a 6061 T-6 aluminum sheet capable of conforming to one or more curved blade mounts.   
     
     
         8 . The wind turbine blade assembly of  claim 7  wherein wind turbine blade assembly comprises one or more battens connected to said blades parallel to said one ore more curved blade mounts. 
     
     
         9 . The wind turbine blade assembly of  claim 7  wherein said turbine blade curves vertically and remains straight horizontally. 
     
     
         10 . A turbine blade assembly comprising
 a hub;   a plurality of sets of blade mounts, for each set, each said blade mount within said set parallel to other said blade mounts, wherein each of said sets is mounted to hub equally spaced radially from adjacent sets, further wherein each blade mount comprising a ratio of a linear blade length to a curve depth between 15/99 and 17/99; and   a plurality of blades, wherein each blade is mounted to a unique set of blade mounts, wherein each of said blades comprises a thin flexible material capable of conforming to one or more curved blade mount.   
     
     
         11 . The wind turbine blade assembly of  claim 10  further comprising one or more battens connected to said blades parallel to said one ore more curved blade mounts, further wherein said battens have a ratio of a batten linear blade length to a batten curve depth between 15/99 and 17/99. 
     
     
         12 . The wind turbine assembly of  claim 10  wherein said plurality of sets of blades comprises 3 sets. 
     
     
         13 . The wind turbine assembly of  claim 10  wherein each set comprises one blade mount. 
     
     
         14 . The wind turbine blade assembly of  claim 10  wherein said blade mounts comprises 6061 T-6 aluminum. 
     
     
         15 . The wind turbine blade assembly of  claim 14  wherein said blades comprise 6061 T-6 aluminum. 
     
     
         16 . The wind turbine blade assembly of  claim 10  wherein said one or more blades comprise 6061 T-6 aluminum. 
     
     
         17 . The wind turbine blade assembly of  claim 11  wherein said one or more battens comprise 6061 T-6 aluminum.
